Learning has truly become a lifelong pursuit, that can happen anytime, anywhere in our Information Age.

The skills to help us best understand and make use of the wealth of knowledge at our fingertips is essential to life and success both in the classrooms and workforces of the modern world. This presentation examines the skills that help us extract essential knowledge, verify its authenticity, and perceive its meaning and significance.

Real-World Problems and Independent Problem Solving

The children of today are the builders of tomorrow—they both need and deserve a skill set that stresses critical thinking and develops a mindset of discovering innovative solutions to complex problems that haven’t even been witnessed yet. In this workshop, we take a careful look at one of the vital modern learning skills that focuses on a creative thought process designed to foster problem-solving skills and a real-time application of the comprehensive 6D’s thinking model—Define, Discover, Dream, Design, Deliver, and Debrief. You’ll see how today’s “just-in-time” learners can employ CDM (Convergent, Divergent, Metacognitive) thinking abilities to discover and create the best and most effective solutions and apply them to the challenges of modern times.
